Learning new words

Hey! I learned a new word this week. At least I believe I’ve never seen this word before. Actually the more I think about it, there were a couple new words, but that is beside the point.

The New Word:

This word relates to the one-hundred-and-fiftieth anniversary of something. I doubt this is a word that I will use often. I would have to say it multiple times in order for my brain to want to use it because it does not feel comfortable.

Book Buzz

• Rebecca Yarros announced on Instagram the next book in the Empyrean Saga would be called Onyx Storm and it is releasing on January 21, 2025. Fourth Wing wasn’t my favorite, but for some reason I needed to know what happens next. I’m currently reading Iron Flame.
